Wolf People @ The Sebright Arms
Wolf People treated a sold out crowd at East London’s Sebright arms to one of the best rock shows the venue has seen this month, in support of their latest record Fain out at the end of this month (April 30) via JagJaguwar. As subjective as that statement may be, their deep-rooted rock and roll jam style…
Chicago sibling duo Wild Belle brought a bit of blues pop to London last week. Check out some of the photo highlights!
Brooklyn-based Parquet Courts are giving garage punk a resurgence in a big way. After playing their debut album Light Up Gold on repeat for the past couple of months, we headed over to our neighbourhood Shacklewell Arms last Wednesday (March 20) to see if these guys would live up to everything we (and the sold out crowd) hoped they would…
It’s the best when a support band isn’t really a support band at all. That’s what the sold out crowd at The Forum was treated to last Thursday night (March 14) when Grace Potter & the Nocturnals opened up for The Avett Brothers. We’ve been longtime fans of Grace Potter and her remarkable Nocturnals, yet…
Photos by Guille Lasarte The White Album, perhaps the most handsomely bearded band at the moment, played at London’s Slaughtered Lamb on Tuesday night. While the Danish trio may look like brothers, the three bandmates are great friends, and have been making music together for ages. The dark lighting in the basement venue seemed to…

Taking some time away from Real Estate, guitarist Matt Mondanile spent time developing his solo project, Ducktails, got signed to Domino, and released The Flower Lane earlier this year. As the most collaborative album to date with a full band in the recording studio together and making their mark on the indie scene, it’s almost hard to…
Photos By: Eriksson Imagery Lord Huron kicked off a string of London dates at the Old Blue Last on Thursday night (Feb 7). Enjoying critical acclaim and a rocketing fanbase thanks to their debut record Lonesome Dreams, these guys are getting big fast, so seeing them at the quaint venue was a welcome treat. A band’s first gig…
Kurt Vile came out of his pseudo-hiding while recording his new album, and brought out his band, The Violators to seduce a packed London house for their headline set at The Forum last Thursday (December 6). But long before Vile took the stage, the crowd filled quickly to catch two indie darlings in their own right…
Supporting their first record in 8 years, Meat + Bone, the punk rock Gods that are the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion needed no introduction Tuesday night at The Electric Ballroom. After 20 years of blazing a career trail through blues, punk, noise twang, the roaring crowd were ready for the alt-blues preacher to unleash his intensity….
